We Don't Love the Smell of Napalm in the Morning
I went to an "Israel Solidarity Gathering for Peace" at a local synagogue.
The title says it all. This was not a rally, but a gathering. (No, we do not
want to get anybody fired up or pumped up.) This was to be a quiet gathering
of intelligent, prosperous, and respectful people. From the look in the room
there were no people there who could wield a weapon or throw a punch. They don't
even want to know such a person.
Several of my Jewish friends were not there for various reasons. There was
a big game on the boob tube and Sunday afternoon is for personal interests.
The room was vacant of the 20-30 year old crowd and had a token smattering of
children.
Kind people talked about the damage that Israel had sustained over the last
eight years. Hamas are bad guys who used women and children for human shields.
But there was only one mention of political Islam. One speaker mentioned that
"moderate" Muslims have to rein in the "extremist" Muslims.
He did not make any mention of how or why this would happen.
They said that the Israelis had bent over backward to avoid trouble. Children
came up and talked about how wonderful they found Israel during their visit
there. Yada, yada, yada.
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning," comes from an over-the-top
officer in Apocalypse Now. There are people who will run towards a fight and
there are those who run from a fight. These people were running from a fight.
They do not want to smell victory in the morning. Victory reeks of oppression
and these people don't want to be oppressors. Victim is the comfort zone. They
weren't actually that comfortable with victim, but they were less comfortable
with victory and the smell of napalm in the morning. Victim won by default.
In an hour's time, the word victory was not mentioned. This was a gathering
for Peace. The word victory brings up a fight and a fight implies an enemy.
And too much talk about an enemy might bring up dreadful questions. Such as:
who is the enemy of the Jews? The only acceptable enemies of the Jews are the
KKK, neo-Nazis and conservatives. No one else gets a mention.
All of this fits in with a modern day liberal concept of the sacred victim
and how the victim is the winner in any social argument. These Jews think that
if they plead their victim case everyone will realize that they are the moral
winners. Victim is good. Unfortunately, Islam does not share the same ethical
code as the Jews. Islam never grieves over its victims.
The last gathering by the Jews was about the torture/slaughter of the Jews
in Mumbai. But there was no mention of Mumbai at the Peace Gathering. The reason
is simple. There is no connection between Gaza and Mumbai. That is the official
dogma. Each event of violence is unrelated to the next event of violence. There
is also no connection between the rising Jew hatred around the world and Islam.
Jew hatred can be mentioned as long as you don't mention Islam. Or, if you do
mention Islam, you must say that those haters aren't real Muslims. It seems
that every rabbi knows a "nice" Muslim who proves that Islam is good
for the Jews. No ideology can be mentioned.
To aid in peace, one rabbi is leading an exchange of children for classes between
the mosque and his synagogue. The Muslim children will learn how Jews respect
them and want to live in peace. There will be no mention to the Jewish children
about how
Mohammed assassinated, mass executed the Jews of Medina, or how he tortured
Jewish leaders to death. There will be no history of how
Mohammed attacked the Jews of Khaybar, took their wealth, and land and made
them dhimmis (semi-slaves of Islam). Jews were the first dhimmis and lived
as dhimmis for 1400 years. The rabbi is ignorant of this doctrine and history
and the Jewish children will remain as ignorant as he is.
Actually, there was one person in the room who mentioned victory. But he said
it as he shuffled out leaning on his cane. He said, "You get peace from
fighting. Kill the enemy until they are defeated. Peace will come after victory."
I'll bet when he was young he knew what "wielding a weapon" meant.
But his replacements coming up behind him don't want victory. They want peace
and no enemies. What they will get is no peace and an enemy they refuse to acknowledge.
